Book Review: "Ascent From Darkness"

I am a tremendous fan of texts regarding horror, witchcraft, the occult, etc. When I first chose to read this particular text, I did so for the promise of a book with a character that considered himself, at first, to be “Satan’s Soldier.” I did not think that this book would be particularly good or moving, I was just drawn into it by the genre. Now that I have experienced Michael Leehan’s Ascent From Darkness, I can honestly say that I am glad I chose to read this book.

Although parts of the book did seem to be somewhat unrealistic and almost fictional, I found myself captivated by the storyline. The transition from actively serving as a soldier to Satan to embracing God by becoming His warrior was, without a doubt, very interesting to read. I was able to relate different aspects of this book to my own life, which made the experience that much more enjoyable. Those who tend to turn a blind eye to the occult and Satanic worship may not enjoy this book as much as I did, but it does show good’s overpowering ability to conquer evil. I would definitely recommended that those interested in this topic take a day or two to read this book.
